Andrew Jackson had personal advisers that could not be approved as member of his Cabinet by the Senate. So he chose personal advisers that met in the Kitchen. They became known as the Kitchen Cabinet. You must know that Andrew Jackson was a very rough frontier man and his friends were also. So when he brought his friends to Washington D. C. the established society was distressed to say the least. At his inauguration the people climbed on the furniture with their muddy boots. They left the White House in a mess. There was no way the Senate would approve "that kind of a man" as a member of the official Presidential Cabinet. He rarely met with the paid official Presidential Cabinet. .
The spoils system, implemented by President Andrew Jackson, involved appointing political supporters to government positions, often regardless of their qualifications. This practice led to widespread corruption and inefficiency, prompting Jackson to rely on a group of unofficial advisors, known as the "kitchen cabinet," for guidance. These informal advisors were trusted allies who could provide more candid advice than the official cabinet, thereby circumventing the limitations and issues associated with the spoils system. Ultimately, the kitchen cabinet emerged as a response to the challenges posed by the politicization of government roles.
